I cut out the traced blob indentation shape that keeps recurring in this work and projected it using this antiquated overhead projector; the reliable, clunky type I remember from school.

I moved the projector across the floor. The shadow shape was repeated at intervals across the wall five times.

The projector was moved progressively closer to the wall, and the resultant shadows drawn around. This made these concentric blob shapes.

I continued to work using this process at at intervals until the day of our group critique, the predetermined finish point.

The piece was accompanied by a fifty second tape recording I made by digitally slowing a ten second recording of me playing bass drum and hi-hat down. I shifted the pitch down and added a series of effects using a program called Wavepad sound editor. I chose analogue audio tape because of its warm hiss, it’s imperfection. The piece was interpreted as the sound of marching boots, or of an industrial process involving heavy machinery.

Fellow students and teaching staff thought that the sound and the drawing seemed to coalesce to a greater extent than before.
